Primarily three ways. First we spread risk of the investor’s funds over a team of traders and trading strategies. So no one trader can harm the fund. This allows us as well, to profit in all market conditions – as different trading strategies at different times can provide. “The power of the many is greater than the power of one.” Secondly, we have new technology in place to ensure that strict trader targets and controls are adhered to (via our real-time risk manager) as well as provide trader tools (for example the Trading Floor and the Toolbox) to enable trader success.
